Warrigal Greens

Warrigal Greens (Tetragonia tetragonioides)
Australia’s Native Spinach

Warrigal Greens is a fast-growing, ground-covering plant native to Australia and New Zealand. Reaching up to 50cm in height, it thrives in well-drained soil and is ideal for coastal or dry gardens. With its nutrient-rich, edible leaves, Warrigal Greens has long been used as a native alternative to spinach.

A staple in bush tucker gardens, its leaves must be blanched or steamed before eating to remove natural oxalates. Once prepared, they're perfect in stir-fries, quiches, and salads.

Growing Tips:

• Prefers well-draining soil and sunny to partly shaded spots

• Spreads quickly – great as a living mulch or ground cover

• Can tolerate salty conditions, ideal for coastal gardens

• Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth
